Early predictors of corticosteroid response in acute severe autoimmune hepatitis: A nationwide multicenter study.

Older patients with high MELD, encephalopathy or ascites at steroid therapy initiation and during treatment are unlikely to show a favourable response and so prolonged therapy in these patients, especially if they are transplantation candidates, should be avoided.

Longitudinal monitoring of STAT3 phosphorylation and histologic outcome of tofacitinib therapy in patients with ulcerative colitis.

However, lamina propria pSTAT3 was significantly associated with the Nancy Histologic index (p = 0.004). Tofacitinib can induce and maintain endoscopic and histologic remission in up to one-quarter of highly refractory UC patients. Longitudinal monitoring of nuclear pSTAT3 in mucosal tissue compartments reflects distinctive on-target effects, independently of long-term treatment outcomes.

Real-world multicentre observational study including population pharmacokinetic modelling to evaluate the exposure-response relationship of vedolizumab in inflammatory bowel disease: ERELATE Study.

In this real-world study, a positive exposure-response relationship was observed for vedolizumab. Vedolizumab concentration during induction may be an important predictor of short- and long-term outcomes, and similarly, vedolizumab baseline clearance may be an important predictor of remission.

Diagnosis and Management of Cancer Risk in the Gastrointestinal Hamartomatous Polyposis Syndromes: Recommendations From the US Multi-Society Task Force on Colorectal Cancer.

Germline pathogenic variants in the PTEN gene cause overlapping clinical phenotypes (known as the PTEN hamartoma tumor syndromes), including Cowden's syndrome and related disorders that are associated with an increased risk of gastrointestinal and colonic polyposis, colon cancer, and other extraintestinal manifestations and cancers. Due to the relative rarity of the hamartomatous polyposis syndromes, recommendations for management are based on few studies. This US Multi-Society Task Force on Colorectal Cancer consensus statement summarizes the clinical features, assesses the current literature, and provides guidance for diagnosis, assessment, and management of patients with the hamartomatous polyposis syndromes, with a focus on endoscopic management.

Objective comparison of vedolizumab and ustekinumab effectiveness in Crohn's disease patients failure to TNF-alpha inhibitors.

In CD patients in which TNFi failed, both ustekinumab and vedolizumab showed similar clinical effectiveness after 26 weeks of treatment. At one-year vedolizumab was associated with higher rate of clinical remission as compared to ustekinumab. Thought, no difference was observed between the two groups when objective outcomes were investigated at this time point.

Self-expandable duodenal metal stent placement for palliation of gastric outlet obstruction over the past 20 years.

Prior treatment with chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy was significantly associated with an increased risk of adverse events (OR 2.53, P=0.02). Clinical outcome of duodenal stent placement did not improve over time. The decreased GOO-symptom free survival and increased adverse event rate in more recent years are probably related to the chemo- and/or radiotherapy treatment provided prior to duodenal stent placement.

Factors Associated with Geographic Disparities in Gastrointestinal Cancer Mortality in the United States.

Cigarette smoking and rural residence (independent of specialist density) were most strongly associated with GI cancer-related mortality. Both patient and structural factors contribute to significant geographic differences in mortality from GI cancers. Our findings support continued public health efforts to reduce smoking use and improve care for rural patients, which may contribute to a reduction in disparities in GI cancer-related death.

Loss of Arid1a and Pten in pancreatic ductal cells induces intraductal tubulopapillary neoplasm via the YAP/TAZ pathway.

Furthermore, pharmacological inhibition of the YAP/TAZ pathway suppressed the dedifferentiation of pancreatic ductal cells and development of ITPN in Arid1a and Pten double knockout mice. Concurrent loss of Arid1a and Pten in adult pancreatic ductal cells induced ITPN and ITPN-derived PDAC in mice through aberrant activation of YAP/TAZ pathway, and inhibition of YAP/TAZ pathway prevented the development of ITPN. These findings provide novel insights into the pathogenesis of ITPN-derived PDAC and highlight the YAP/TAZ pathway as a potential therapeutic target.

Feasibility of hepatitis B elimination in high-income countries with ongoing immigration.

We have developed an agent-based model that reflects the dynamics of HBV transmission in a high-income country region that with ongoing immigration, which enables forecasting the epidemiology of HBV for policy-level decision making. Our analysis suggests that current vaccination, screening, and treatment strategies are inadequate to achieve the WHO goals of eliminating chronic hepatitis B. Even with extensive integrated scale-up in vaccination, screening, and treatment, the morbidity and mortality targets may not be reachable.

The visceral sensitivity index: A novel tool for measuring GI-symptom-specific anxiety in inflammatory bowel disease.

Our findings suggest the VSI is a useful measure in IBD. The VSI in IBD is related to general anxiety but is measuring a different construct and is not affected by the presence of trait anxiety. IBD patients have GSA that is associated with decreased HRQOL, which can negatively affect treatment compliance and other long-term disease outcomes. Future studies are needed to further validate the VSI in IBD and to assess its correlation with disease activity.

Transcutaneous vagal nerve stimulation protects against stress-induced intestinal barrier dysfunction in healthy adults.

Recent advances in clinical practice: management of inflammatory bowel disease during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Reassuringly, rates of breakthrough infections and hospitalisations in al patients who received vaccines, irrespective of IBD treatment, remained low. International guidelines recommend that al patients with IBD treated with immunosuppressive therapies should receive, at any point during their treatment cycle, three primary doses of SARS-CoV-2 vaccines with a further booster dose as soon as possible. Future research should focus on our understanding of the rate of antibody decay in biological-treated patients, which patients require additional doses of SARS-CoV-2 vaccine, the long-term risks of COVID-19 on IBD disease course and activity, and the potential risk of long COVID-19 in patients with IBD.

NAFLD-related hepatocellular carcinoma: The growing challenge.

However, the occurrence of NAFLD-related HCC in patients without cirrhosis is increasingly recognized and poses a significant challenge regarding cancer surveillance. It is of paramount importance to develop optimal risk stratification scores and models to identify subsets of the population at high risk so they can be enrolled in surveillance programs. In this review, we will discuss the risks and prediction models for NAFLD-related HCC.
